Change of subject ... so ... read any good books lately?

Our bookclub is reading The Mayor of Castorbridge (Thomas Hardy) at the moment. I read it years ago (like about 20) and remembered enjoying it. This time around it's going a bit too slowly for me. Possibly because I can't sit down and read it all in one hit, but have to nibble at it just before bedtime each night. So far, not much has happened except a lot of walking (yes, I'm not far into it at all).
Now, my husband is reading my children The Wishing Chair (Enid Blyton), a chapter each night at bedtime. And it's ALL happening in The Wishing Chair. So far it's been three nights of adventure, delicious-food eating, new friendships and magic.

I'm adding 'large wishing chair' to my Christmas list.
